Blog 1: Introduction

                My name is Kelsey Luke Mitchell. I currently live in Lima Peru where I have been for the past six years. I have grown up most of my life in South America with my three older brothers and parents. My parents have been missionaries in several different countries since my seventh birthday. I am now eighteen and a senior in High School. I have lived in The United States, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Peru. I have lived a very diverse and interesting life. Although I have lived mostly in big cities I have spent a lot of time in the poorest places of South America. I have seen the needs of many people who live far below the average living expectancy that there is in the United States.

                The way I would like to impact the world today is to be able to help people in the best way I know how and can enjoy. Before I was born my mother was a physical therapist. Hearing and learning about her job has got me interested in that field of study and is what I plan on working on in college. I want to be able to help the community where I live in while in the United States but make every effort to take mission trips and medical trips to South America where others and I can help the most.

                The best way to make this possible is to know economics and have the discipline to work hard. Working hard to learn the skills needed to help others and the discipline to manage money the best way to support my family and use it for others.
